The billionaire owner and CEO Linda Yaccarino dialed in from out of town, vaguely touting new features that will roll out in the coming months.


There is very little surprising about Elon Musk’s methods of running X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, seemingly into the ground. A year after Musk officially took over the platform, both he and recently installed X CEO Linda Yaccarino held a joint all-hands Thursday to address some of the changes at the company and suggested that X might be a new financial platform.

Neither Musk himself nor Yaccarino showed up, according to a report from Fortune Thursday. The two executives dialed in remotely from Austin and New York City, respectively, citing an anonymous source within the company. Musk and Yaccarino skipping out on an in-person appearance during the all-hands comes after the former demanded employees return to office 40 hours per week last November, according to Insider, in one of his first sweeping changes as owner.

        The comedy heist movie almost writes itself.

        “We created a backdoor into the system, but now we’re just waiting because it crashed and it’s down right now.”

        “We smuggled an EMP into the data center, but it didn’t do anything because it turns out everything critical is actually running on someone’s laptop in the accounting team.”

          Oh you wanted to crash data center 2? Nah, *Elon went there and ripped the servers out himself on a cost cutting trip.

          *Elon actually did this.

      As I understand, a significant amount of the employees who stayed are ones who depend on steady work to stay in the country. For these folks, sabotaging their company could ultimately end in being deported. IDK about you but I don’t think that’s the hill I’d die on.
